# 📖 Introduction

Leicester Hackspace has a Piranha Ruida CO<sub>2</sub> laser which was donated after it was seriously damaged by a fire caused by unattended cutting of acrylic. Members have coaxed it back into use. It has a number of idiosyncrasies as a result, so it is important that members are trained beforehand or supervised whilst using the laser.
